On the road to eventually declaring that America is a communist dictatorship, the left-wing radicals in Washington must nudge the American people first into believing that we are a democracy, such as what they have in Egypt, Libya, Greece, and Europe. Allow me to lay this out for you:
democracy >noun (pl. democracies) 1 a form of government in which the people have a voice in the exercise of power, typically through elected representatives. 2 a state governed in such a way. 3 control of a group by the majority of its members.
-ORIGIN Greek dmokratia, from dmos ‘the people’ + -kratia ‘power, rule’.
Notice how the definition states that the people have a voice in the exercise of power. Now let us look at the definition of Republic:
republic >noun a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
-ORIGIN Latin respublica, from res ‘concern’ + publicus ‘of the people, public’.
Now notice that the definition for republic defines “we the people” as the supreme power. This is not a body led by representatives.
It is imperative that we educate our young people as to these stark contrasts in definitions. Just as a banker studies real currency in order to spot a fraud, we the people must study our founding documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights in order to spot the bill of goods that the communists in Washington are pushing on us.
Just as they are trying to remove GOD from our society, so too are they trying to remove any reference to America being a Republic. Our founding fathers set our country up as a Republic for a reason: to avoid so few having power over so many. Educate your loved ones, read the founding documents with them, and, by all means, pray for God’s divine providence over our great nation and that she may one day be restored to her former glory.
I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America, AND TO THE REPUBLIC,FOR WHICH IT STANDS, one Nation under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all.
You may want to teach your young ones the importance of the pledge as well since some schools don’t even recite it anymore. Stay safe, and always be aware of your surroundings.

It would be nice if we could recover the Republic, but the 17th amendment (fraudulently ratified) killed republic. The States no longer have a role in the central government. Senatorial slots now go to the highest bidder. About the most we are now is a representative democracy.
Disagree. We are not represented at all. We are ignored.
I am certain that had America had men of equal character to the caliber of those that stood firm on their moral beliefs and integrity at the early beginning of this nation, there would have never been the passing of Roe vs. Wade nor any bills in favor of the homosexuality agendas. And had we men of this caliber today in the military’s top brass I would expect to see them take control of this government until it was completely turned around from what it is today. All three branches, Executive, legislative and Judicial needed to be cleanse of the godless d men who are destroy our government… Any other idiot who thinks that going into debt can improve our economy and anyone that thinks they must pass a bill before they can find out what is in it should be ran out of America and never allowed to return.
Man’s ignorance in thinking he knows all that there is to be known has always amazed me. True wisdom is gained from what we have experienced in life. There is nothing in this life that you can say for a certainty, unless you have seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to your statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, to say you know God dose not exist just because you personally have not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.
I am sorry that I can’t explain this any clearer than this… I am not a smart man. I just barely graduated from high school. I hated school and now today I am reaping the benefits of that behavior. But in God’s great mercy He has opened my eyes to so many things.. I know (And this is His Promise.) God can do the same for anyone else who seeks Him with all of their heart.

Watchman48,
You do a fine job of explaining yourself and you have no need to apologize.
If, at this time, you would enjoy reviewing some of the things you might have missed in school, consider taking the free Hillsdale College – Constitution 101 – online course, if you have not already done so. Although you seem to have a clear understanding of the Constitution, I did, too. However, the course gave me a much deeper understanding of the Founding Documents; how and why they were written to establish a government in which the People were the sovereigns and consented to be governed.
The course consists of 10 video lectures (approx. 45 min.) and 10 video Q&A sessions (approx. 25-30 min.) and some selected readings (internet linked) that consist of between 10 and 20 pages of text. All videos are now archived for the participant’s convenience. The no-grade/no credit course is offered by Hillsdale free of charge (although they hope some who take it will contribute to the college.) There is nothing required except your interest and a couple of hours for each lession. If you are interested, see additional information at http://www.hillsdale.edu/constitution/.
AZ-lke: Thank you… I just now registered for the “Constitution 101.” I started early retirement so I should have enough time to put into this.
I write on a blog at watchman48.blogspot.com and I tell how 9/11 was the first of 3 major terrorist attacks… If this is of interest to you go to the archive and click on Feb. ’09 and then on RFC Newsletter #101.
Good luck, and not sarcastically, either! Hope you do well.
Took the same course. Even if you were able to study it in school those classes were never designed to give you great insight..
Yes, this nation has always been a republic–a constitutional republic. The present administration thinks it can use whatever part of the constitution it wants and ignore the rest of it. This is what the Soviet government did in Russia. In America, it did not start with this administration–it has just increased what was already being done. It started when the judiciary took part of a constitutional (amendment I) statement, saying that government (actually the constitution says congress) “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” then they ignored the other part of the sentence “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….” There have been many judicial rulings prohibiting the free exercise of religion in this country. However, under this administration, executive orders have been issued that go much farther in that direction than anything in the past. The leftist supporting this administration really do want to make our government a communist dictatorship.
Our Founders desire was to make us a “Democratic Republic”, and the present administration has tread all over the document that outlines just how this was supposed to come about. The present administration is trying to totally destroy the check and balance system the Constitution set down so no one branch of government could do what Obama is doing today. He has defiantly usurped the authority of the Legislative branch of this three tier system. Sadly the Legislative branch, that has the authority do stop him from doing what he’s be doing, has just rolled over and is cowering to his arrogance and ignorance.
He’s the Bully of the play ground and the legislative and judicial branches spend more time trying to hide than they do at showing if they have any contributing worth.
The U.S. is a Constitutional DEMOCRATIC Republic.
Despite what everyone is say, We are no longer a Republic, nor a democracy. We are a DICTATORSHIP
The great “O” has assumed dictatorial powers, he ignores congress, he ignores the people, his pretorian guard, the black panthers, intimidate any one who trys to vote against him. Our congressmen, cry because they are powerless.
I have searched manually and by using the Search feature on the text, and NO WHERE have I found a reference to something called a Democracy in the US Constitution. What it says is that we have a representative form of a Republic. It is based on laws and the goodwill of men. It was designed to, hopefully, prevent one man from taking complete control of the government, plunging us back into the same morass they were in with England.
(!) A democracy is, at best, a form of mob rule. Take a look at Egypt and Greece, for example. Now, THEY have what they call a Democracy. It doesn’t seem to be working out all that well for them. Once it turns into a pure mob rule the Communist’s and all the other ‘ist’s’ step in and pervert it for their own venal purposes. The Communist’s actively SEEK to foment unrest and discontent so that they can then offer the people what ever it is they are asking for, a workers paradise, the Garden of Eden, free everything, etc. Once they get a foot hold on the nations throat it’s all over. Their primary goal is to enslave the workers and control their entire lives and beings. The people are considered sheep, totally irrelevant. Any who fight back are quickly eliminated. The liberals, (part of the useful idiots) are the first to go, since they are too dangerous to keep around. The conservatives, the constitutionalist’s, and the Patriots are included in that group, as well. What’s left? Those morons who think the government OWES them a living. Oh, they will get one, alright, but only at the price of their souls. When the government owns you, they own ALL of you, every waking moment, and asleep, too. We have NEVER , EVER, had a Democracy in America.
Let’s all pray that we NEVER, EVER do have one.
